 100 Men and a Girl
Description: The girl is teenaged singing sensation Deanna Durbin; the one hundred men are out-of-work musicians. Still in her little miss fix-it stage, Durbin connives to help the musicians crack the big time. The person Durbin is most concerned with is her father (Adolphe Menjou) the 100th and most underemployed of the bunch. The men organize their own orchestra; all they need is a prestigious leader. Enter legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski, who after several refusals to listen to Durbin's entreaties is captivated when he hears the sounds of Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody, as played by 100 shabby instrumentalists camped out on the stairway of his house. This film literally saved Universal Studios from receivership in 1937, assuring Ms. Durbin a movie career until she was too rich to care.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Movie summaries and listings powered by Cinema-Source |
